Cell cycle consists of cell growth call
interphase, and cell division called
mitosis
During interphase, genetic material is
copied and checked for errors, if there are
errors the cell will kill itself to prevent
mutations
Interphase: Genetic material is
unravelled and copied and
organelles are are replicated
Prophase: Chromosome condense,
short and fat. Centrioles move to
opposite ends and form the spindle.
Nuclear envelope breaks down and
chromosomes are in cytoplasm
Metaphase:
Chromosomes
line up along the
middle and are
attached by the
spindle.
Anaphase: Centromeres
divide and seperate the
sister chromatids. Spindles
contract pulling the
centromere first/
Telophase:Nuclear envelope
forms around the group of
chromosome and cytoplasm
divides.
Division and reproduction
Budding in yeast (asexual)
A bud forms at the surface, it
undergoes interphase then mitosis.
It then seperates from the the
parent cell.
Meiosis creates genetically different
cells. They start off with the full number
of chromosomes but end up with half.
Homologous pair:
One maternal and
one paternal,
same size and
same genes
Stem cells and differentiation
Stem cells are
unspecialised cells that can
develop into any type of cell
Cells in bone marrow
can differentiate to
produce erythrocytes
and neutrophils.
Cells in cambium
differentiate into xylem
and phloem
Animal cells
Neutrophils
Eythrocytes
Epithelial cells
Sperm cells
Plant cells
Palisade
mesophyll cells
Root hair cells
Guard cells
Tissues, organs, systems
Squamous Epithelium
Single layer of flat cells
lining a surface
Xylem tissue
Transports water and
supports the plant
Phloem tissue
Transports sugars,
contains sieve cells,
companion cells and
plant cells. End walls
called sieve plates
Ciliated epithelium
Layer of cells
covered in cilia.
Similar cells make a
tissue. Different tissues
make an organ and
different organs make an
organ system.
System of cooperation;
transport system and
communication system
